About Me

I was born in 1962; you do the math. (See also: I'm too lazy to remember to update this thing regularly.) I bought my first house in the summer of 2009; I share it three cats and with the memories of The Runt and Little Girl, who both passed away in 2011. Rocky, the cat for whom this blog was named, passed away in 2008; I miss them all. I wish I lived somewhere where the winters weren't eight months long; other than that, life is good.

TV alert! TV alert!

The second season of Work of Art started on Bravo last night. Oh, how I love this show. They take a bunch of artists working in different styles and media and give them challenges each week.

On last night's show, the artists had to take flea-market type art (bad paintings, etc.) and put their own twist on it. And they have a limited amount of time to do it, so they can't dick around endlessly dithering about what they're going to do. And that's the most interesting part to me, watching how the artists actually decide on what they're going to do and then create their work.

And of course, they're "artists", so most of them are whack jobs. There's this one gal named Jazz-Minh (oh PLEASE), and a dude who calls himself "Sucklord", which is pretty hysterical when the judges are critiquing his work. "So tell me, Sucklord, why did you choose that particular color?" hahahahaha

Last year, if I remember correctly, they had a gal on who like to photograph herself nude, so who knows what'll happen this season? And one of the final three was a guy who was so mentally fragile that I STILL worry about him and hope he's okay. Also last season, the person who won SHOULD NOT HAVE WON, in my humble opinion, so we'll see what happens this time.

Oh that sounds so cool, I love shows like that! I watch Project Runway and Face Off and Chopped because I love watching people have to be fast on their feet like that and pull masterpieces out of nowhere. They have a new show coming out (next month?) where they make jewelry or accessories or some thing.

I bet he's shy around his grandma, and if he did have her call him that, I wonder if he says "please". He seems like I nice enough person, though nearly all of them seemed emotionally scarred....my oldest son like the show and I think it will be good for him to watch, from an artist standpoint, so that he can see how it doesn't always works doing what you love when you're trying to get others to understand and love it too. He's looking forward to seeing that one girl bawling like a 3 year old next week. Creepy.
